Enterprise Login in Gnome-Inital-Setup for F29 Workstation does not support Free-IPA
by Alex Thomas 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Testing using Fedora Desktops w/ FreeIPA server and found that plugging in domain and username for my FreeIPA server resulted in error of " Couldn't connect to the ipa.xxxxxxx.xxx domain: Cannot find KDC for realm "IPA.XXXXXXX.XXX". Since F29 no longer gives option to give password for root in Anaconda.(Yet another follow the Ubuntu-ites, like getting rid of the mail server instead of configuring it for local mail, and configuring the first user to get get system mails in Evolution), I had to create an account just to install freeipa-client. So Fedora cannot connect to FreeIPA ( ie Redhat IdM) out of the box. Seems to me that there is an issue here. Alex

That's it. I must have missed that in the GNOME3 release notes. > If you want the old bottom right area is a right click behavior, install > gnome-tweaks, run it and go to: "Keyboard and Mouse" and then for > "Mouse Click Emulation" select "Area". > I will definitely do that. Thanks, Hans! I confirm that both the two-finger click and using tweaks work. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

How to Troubleshoot? No trackpad right button Inspiron 5558 F29
by Ted Roche 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Dell Inspiron 5558, upgraded from F28 to F29 and all seemed well, until I noticed right mouse button on trackpad was not registering. With a cordless Logitech mouse plugged in, right-mouse clicks bring up the appropriate context menus. Running the "mouse and touchpad" app under devices in GNOME Settings show both right and left mouse clicks detected as a primary button. Tested GNOME on Xorg and Wayland. I'd welcome suggestions on what I might try or look at for troubleshooting. The logs include: 16:07:46 kernel: psmouse serio1: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.1, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xd00323/0x840300/0x12e800/0x0, board id: 3014, fw id: 1832337 16:07:46 kernel: psmouse serio1: synaptics: Your touchpad (PNP: DLLb6ae PNP0f13) says it can support a different bus. If i2c-hid and hid-rmi are not used, you might want to try setting psmouse.synaptics_intertouch to 1 and report this to linux-input(a)vger.kernel.org. 16:07:46 kernel: psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried min coordinates: x [1278..], y [1206..] 16:07:46 kernel: psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried max coordinates: x [..5664], y [..4648] -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

New f29 install, windows 10 not detected / grub2-editenv nit
by Richard Shaw 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

My son recently built his own computer and still needs Windows 10 for some games so when get got a new 2TB HD he installed Windows. This weekend I walked him through installing Fedora. We resized the NTFS partition and grabbed about 500GB for Fedora. The installation went smoothly. Upon reboot there was no GRUB menu. I know it's supposed to be hidden by default but not if there are multiple OS's installed. First nit... I wanted to turn off the hidden menu. I knew from a previous list email and BZ that you shouldn't edit grubenv directly so I tried to do it what I thought was the RIGHT way... When I tried the logical way # grub2-editenv set menu_auto_hide=0 I got an error. I thought it was odd but after looking at --help the command goes at the end so I did: # grub2-editenv menu_auto_hide=0 set (no error) # grub2-editenv create Now the grubenv only contains hashes. All the options are gone. Looking here: https://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/19081.html Apparently if you don't want to specify the filename you need to use "-", so: # grub2-editenv - set menu_auto_hide=0 Next the bigger problem: I tried running grub2-mkconfig into a temporary file and OS prober is not finding the Windows installation. Going to check if both are booting UEFI or not... Could be the problem. Thanks, Richard

Tip: VLC and zero length files
by ToddAndMargo 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Hi All, VLC 5.0.3 Fedora 29, x64 Xfce 4.13 Heads up: if you read a zero length *.mp4 file with VLC, the error windows will pop up, start to shimmer, eventually kill VLC, and you will get Logged out -- losing everything you had open. You can log back in, but nothing seems to work quite right until you reboot. I am not reporting it to VLC as they act like such jerks when you do. -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without the mustard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello, I am running user in old fashion I wanted that a user be able to do: mount /dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home /mnt/USB With visudo, I did pdupre localhost=/usr/bin/mount /dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home /mnt/USB/ (pdupre is also member of pdupre I tried also %pdupre localhost=/usr/bin/mount /dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home /mnt/USB/) But it does not work /usr/bin/mount /dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home /mnt/USB mount: only root can do that or sudo /usr/bin/mount /dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home /mnt/USB [sudo] password for pdupre: pdupre is not allowed to run sudo on Teucidide. This incident will be reported. I also tried to put pdupre as member of wheel, but it does not help. Where is my mistake?

Server goes catatonic after a few days
by Alex 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Hi, I have a fedora29 system in our colo that's a few years old now and just goes catatonic and stops responding after a few days. It's happened a few times now, even with different kernels, so I suspect it's a memory or hardware problem. Is it possible to run memtest without having physical access to the machine to insert a USB stick or CDROM? After the machine reboots (via IPMI access), there's nothing in the logs and no abrt-cli info on a kernel crash or other info I can find about why it died. What else can I do to troubleshoot this without having to drive to the colo to check on it? The last entry from journalctl just before it stopped responding was just a regular nrpe entry, unrelated to the crash. I've pasted the current dmesg output here: http://pasted.co/4b700ee1 Any ideas greatly appreciated.
